Default Mark Shead - The Traitor!

On Wednesday he maps an Evo at Simon Norris's dyno that made 675bhp & 553lb torque.

Today he maps a Supra at Thor on the dynapacks that made over 1000bhp.

Tommorow he's mapping a 1000bhp+ skyline at Bruntingthorpe.

All of the car's are running at TOTB3!

Good Luck to the Ford side....but someone needs to kidnap Sheady so that we still stand a chance.

i woudnt really call him a traitor, he's just moving with the times, there are loads of evo,gto,scoobs,etc out there waiting to be modded, the customers have the money to spend and there are lots of them,
ok there are not many skylines around but those that are have huge amounts of money to spend, what pisses me off is that a lot of scooby/evo owners were originally cosworth owners who went east because ford no longer made a brand new quick car. look in the magazines and see how many of the old school traders now supply more jap bits than ford bits,
roll on the focus cosworth (and it better be good !!!)

It's all about the money m8.. And it's just to bad that Ford ain't commin' with a quick model, like a focus cossie. See howmany scoobys there are on the road, just plain stupid that Ford didn't jumped between.

The Focus cossie better be a good one. But I'm afraid we will have to wait a long time though

fastmaul i was taken out of context (re read the thread), you guys have taken the zetec to its max, yet over here we are still toying with small bhp,
richard hope we dont have to wait too long ? i am without a decent ford at the mo and need something to fill that space in my garage, dont want a focus RS (escort rst replacement) because the prices will plummet once the cosworth arrives on the scene, i am saving like mad. cheers nomad

so nomad, you will be the first guy who is driving around in a focus cossie.

it's shame from ford not jumping in the game with a fast car.

and to all the jap car owners. are there any reliable scoobys with 400bhp.

hi rene my cosworth is being dismantled, not much of it left now, only engine and leather interior to shift, people say i sold the parts too cheap but it will make over 9K, i wouldnt have got anywhere near that if i sold it as a complete car, the paint job will live on because i sold the shell complete with bonnet/bumpers,mirrors/morettes etc so the guy who bought it will put it back on the road. ford wont say when they plan to release the cosworth but if it doesnt happen within 2 years then it will have to be a R34 that fills the space. cheers nomad
ps went to a jap day at santa pod last year and towards the end of the day there were 10 sec 1/4 mile times every 5 minutes, those skylines are awesome.
